    I have my dress! I went on two shopping trips and tried on probably 12 dresses. I had an idea of what i wanted when i went and this was the only one that combined all the elements of what i wanted!

    I'm still trying to lose but I'm worn similiar styles at my current weight and at my goal weight (back in the day) and know it'll be great.

    I have my dress as well! Here is the link (unfortunately I dont have a photo of me in it - my MOH has them on her phone and hasn't emailed them to me yet):

    I ordered a size 8 in fall 2012, but the wedding isn't until August 2013 so hopefully it wont be too hard to get it altered! (Cuz I'm currently about a size 6 in David's Bridal sizes thanks to running and MFP)

    Maggie Sottero "Cindy" - this is a sample size 10, ordered in an 8. Hopefully it will have to be altered down even more :)

    My dress. Not at all what I had imagined I'd be wearing, but I fell in love, It is so much prettier in person!

    If its being made you need to get it sorted 6months in advance really to allow for it to be made and then altered. I've ordered mine as a UK 16 but was told at the time if my weight went down it wasn't an issue to alter. They have had brides order a size 18 but end up being an 8 :)

    Ugh, dress shopping. I wasn't dreading it at all, in fact I was totally looking forward to it, until I stepped out in my first dress. My mom's first words were, "Well, you're going to lose weight, it wouldn't look so bad then!" :huh: I had not said one thing about my weight. The rest of the appointment was more of the same, at least 2 comments per gown about what a whale I was. Thanks mom, love you too. I thought the dresses were really pretty, and I really didn't think I looked that bad! Grr. Now I never want to go dress shopping with her again! Anyone else have mommy issues?

    I have picked out my dress but since my fiance is also on MFP, no pictures (all he gets to know is it's a dress and it's white haha). It is Essence of Australia and absolutely gorgeous. I am not planning on trying anything on or buying anything until the fall of this year. I want to get to my goal weight or at least within 10-15pounds before I go shopping. I don't want to have too many alterations. Can't wait to go shopping though...it's KILLING me not being able to look!

    I never got to do "the dress shop" as I found mine on eBay brand new ( not a copy ) for a ridiculously cheap price ! I'm a little sad I didn't get to try some on and do the whole champagne and dresses day but I'm looking forward to me and my bridesmaids finding their dresses, who knows I might just have to try a couple of gowns on then !

    I'm with many others here, I have started to look online but I haven't actually gone to try on any dresses. I have quite a few pounds to lose before I actually put a dress on. So far I have fallen in love with a lot of Maggie Sottero dresses. I can't wait until I lose some more weight to actually try some on. I am thinking I will start in May/June of this year. My wedding is in June of 2014. That should be enough time, right?

    I'm with ya! I don't want to actually try anything on until i'm closer to my wedding. Mine is going to be September 2014. Like you I probably won't start trying on dresses until I lose the weight. I think you should have plenty of time if you start in May/June. I also love Maggie Sottero! Do you know what style you want?

    I've been on the dress hunt since much before I got engaged. I've window shopped online a lot recently but I wan't planning on dress shopping until I reach my goal weight. I am hoping I will hit my goal weight by the end of March or early April so I am planning on scheduling a dress shopping evening on April 1. I always planned on getting my dress from David's bridal but since I have been looking around I have fallen in love with Maggie Sottero's dresses specifically, Debbie.

    who doesn't love wedding dress porn!

    I fell in love with mine after only trying on 4 other dresses. Its a Hilary Morgan 40282 and the shop assistants were fab where I tried on my gown, they really catered to all body shapes and sizes
